WHO recognizes Bhutan for eliminating dog-transmitted human rabies
The World Health Organization has formally recognized Bhutan for eliminating dog-transmitted human rabies as a public health problem. This national achievement means people are no longer contracting the fatal disease from dogs. The recognition specifically addresses rabies transmitted by dogs and does not necessarily eliminate the risk from other animal reservoirs.
Why it matters
This provides a replicable national model for controlling a fatal and often neglected disease.
